I think of The National as the melancholy of Radiohead without the sonic lushness, experimentation or masterful delivery that validates that melancholy





this is what i'm talking about

wasn't a comparison I came up with, was one multiple people have made to me when recommending this band

my quote that you pasted in bold above actually expresses more dissimilarities between the bands than similarities

I need some degree of vigour from the musician to make the song seem passionate yes, a sense of them overflowing with emotion

see: Bjork, Jeff Mangum, Avey Tare, Joanna Newsom, David Bowie

okay sounds like he had a cup of coffee before recording Pink Rabbits, this song is actually pretty nice

much prefer this style of soundscape to the lo-fi, over-earnest jangle of songs like Geese of Beverly Road

@climactic will give Alligator a crack :]

Sad really. The National and The Smiths have some of the most emotional music ever.
